Full Body Screening - TSA's Airport Security Escalations

I have recently been reading and hearing alot of different opinions on the TSA's decision to enhance airport and passenger security by engaging these new "backscatter" imaging devices that create a mesomorphic scan of the individual that reveals the lines of their body and any "un-natural" objects that they may be hiding under their clothes and near their skin.

Some of the comments I have read are just moronic:

This one was posted by someone only identified as L on the Nothing To Do With Arbroath: Full body x-ray to be tested at U.S. airport blog;

"Yeah, sure it blurs the naughty bits. Right. How long will it be before those images start popping up (unblurred) on porn sites? All it takes is one idiot in a position of power..."

Here is another comment that was just as moronic posted on the same blog by someone identified as Tsitsi-which may be shorthand for African/Islamic wannabe terrorist who doesn't have the sack to pull it off...

"That's it, I'm not flying to the US until they stop this senseless "war on terrorism". Which might not be in my lifetime."



Trust me Tsitsi flyer, we really don't want or even need you here with an attitude like that. These are measures to protect citizens of the United States AS WELL AS OTHER countries travelling to/through the U.S. I am sorry that Canada, and wherever you are from, have no warrior ethic to fight back instead of being a constant victim economy of apathy.

Let's for a minute just focus on the comment aimed at this technology being abused for "pornographic" reasons... (and I am literally laughing out loud here, folks) I don't know about you, but this picture, and some of the newer technology ones that actually create a line drawing "likeness of the outline of the natural contours of the person being screened, ...they are about as pornographic as Picasso's "Guernica"!


Actually, Guernica is alot more sexier and provocative than the TSA security lab director, Susan Hallowell's body (who was the test subject in the second image above). The scan actually makes her look more like one of the hive zombies from the recent Will Smith flick "I am Legend"...

So come on America and our global neighbors, grow up and move on, terrorism wins most when they have altered your lifestyle and when you are talking about them. Stop talking and live your lives, move on and ignore them...
